Our Mission...

The Greater Washington Dance Center's mission is to provide the highest level of artistic and technical training, as we foster the child's love of dance and develop the life long skills of hard work, dedication and reliability.

Every student in the school is trained with a solid foundation in technique so that upon graduation from high school they are prepared for further professional work in the dance world. It is our goal to continually provide the very best in training and opportunities in order to develop the future's dancers, teachers, choreographers and lovers of the art of dance.

GWDC dancers are trained in a uniquely American style of dance. They learn by combining the logic and precision of ballet and the dynamism of contemporary dance all wrapped with the intent to nurture the individual's creative, social, intellectual and spiritual development. Our goal is to develop the most versatile dancers and passionate performers who are able to jump from style and genre easily and seamlessly.
